2019–20 Colorado drone sightings
The 2019–20 Colorado drone sightings were a series of widely sighted possible unidentified drones observed in the skies of northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska between December 2019 and January 2020. According to witness reports, the drones flew in grid formations in groups of up to 19 and were visible at night between 6 and 10 pm. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), FBI, and local law enforcement investigated the sightings, but have not yet determined the operator of the drones. Flying drones at night without a waiver from the FAA is a violation of federal law.


2019–20 Colorado drone sightings, Overview
Observations of mysterious drones spotted in northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska were first reported in December 2019. The drones were described as having blinking lights and a wingspan of about six feet (1.8 m). According to the Denver Post, the drones flew in groups of six to 10 and were usually seen between 7 and 10 pm. The sheriff of Phillips County, Colorado described the formation as "a grid search" and stated that the size and number of drones makes it unlikely that they are being operated by hobbyists. One witness in Palisade, Nebraska counted 19 drones at one time, some hovering and others flying in formations in small groups. The drones fly at an altitude between 200–500 ft (61–152 m).


2019–20 Colorado drone sightings, Overview
Sheriffs in the affected counties stated that the drones did not appear to be "malicious" and are not violating local laws, although the sheriff of Morgan County, Colorado said the situation is "very unnerving for our citizens." Flying a drone at night without a waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is illegal. Drone pilots also require waivers from the FAA to fly long distances, in coordinated formations, or at altitudes higher than 400 feet (120 m). The FAA checked with drone companies and unmanned aircraft test sites in the area, and has confirmed that none of them are operating the drones.
